So now he approaches her in a gentle way, but his mentality clearly hasn't changed. Now he's probably thinking "darn, I just got high, which is bad enough, but now this guy is bringing up that freakin scar". The song continues, "You know I gave it to you months ago. The guy saw the scar and probably asked her about it. Now the "sunglasses asking about a scar" is probably a random guy who just happened to sit in his seat when he got up. That incident may have left a permanent mark on her while others didn't. Just because he mentioned that the gave her the scar months ago doesn't necessarily mean that was the only or last time he was abusive towards her.

They use drugs, they become aggressive, and then apologize. I interpret it that he has hurt his girlfriend either physically or emotionally while he was under the influence and he had told her he wouldn't do it again and like most abusers and addicts their behaviors are often repetitive.

He’s probably promised her that he's not going to engage in those behaviors any more. Now he has to explain this to his girlfriend that they're all in there getting high he probably snorted a little bit of coke or smoked a little bit of weed while he was in there). Now where do we imagine he was coming from? He was more than likely coming from the bathroom where his friends were "getting higher than the empire state". This means it was his seat and that he was supposed to be sitting there, and somoene took his seat in his absence. Then he further states, "MY" seat's been "taken" by some sunglasses asking about a scar. He says "my lover" is "waiting" for me just across the bar". He doesn't say "my ex happened to be across the bar" or "this girl I used to date is across the bar". In the song he says, "My lover is "waiting" for me just across the bar". He clearly has issues with substance abuse, and she most likely does too (maybe just not as bad as him). And there can't be another song that has been played so widely, without anyone knowing what it's really about.This song is talking about a young, immature, and reckless young man who is obviously in an unhealthy relationship with a girl.

After all, there can't be that many doors out there responsible for a song charting in the top 10 on three separate occasions. You would think that some sort of plaque marking the venue's small role in popular musical history might be considered. So the mystery then can be reduced to the simple fact that it is a man trying to get into a lesbian bar. A lot of its regulars appeared as extras in The Killing of Sister George. A 15-minute sequence was filmed behind the green door, which was the entrance to one of London's first lesbian clubs - the Gateways, known to its denizens as the Gates. If you want to find out, all you have to do is rent a copy of The Killing of Sister George, the 1968 lesbian-themed film starring Beryl Reid and Susannah York. As the singer explains: "When I said, 'Joe sent me,' someone laughed out loud behind the green door".

We know it wasn't always a storage space from the lyric: "There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door/ Don't know what they're doing but they laugh a lot behind the green door/ Wish they'd let me in so I could find out what's behind the green door." Even the code hidden in the lyrics - "Joe sent me", referring to Joe Meek, the gay record producer who oversaw Vaughan's version of the song - doesn't provide much help. So why did so many people feel the need to ask? If you take a look behind it now, you'll find it's a storage space for a nearby dress shop. The green door actually exists, it's on Bramerton Street, just off the King's Road in west London.
